Importing from the USA

richiebozza:
Hello all!

Has anyone worked out a way of getting a frame and forks over from the USA without getting stung by ridiculous import charges?

Cheers!
Rich

CustardLips:
Ask the seller to mark the value at $50 or less, to send as gift or returned goods.  :daumenhoch:

richiebozza:
Is $50 the threshold?
I was looking online and found suggestion that it was much lower, down at around £15?

CustardLips:
It was $50 unless it's recently changed. ???

richiebozza:
I recently had to pay charges on a poster from the USA that the seller wrote had a value of $25 on.

And this gov site talks about value of items over £15...
